Installation
Low Friction System: Derailleur
TOOLS NEEDED
- repair stand
- electrician wire cutters
- metric allen wrenches
- torque wrench
- sharp awl or punch
- bicycle cable and housing cutters
SUPPORT
- Place bicycle in repair stand and shift chain onto smallest ring/cog combination.
- Note: There are two different lengths of cables in the kit. THE LONGER CABLE IS FOR THE REAR DERAILLEUR, THE SHORTER CABLE IS FOR THE FRONT DERAILLEUR. Each cable has 2 end terminations - a larger end (Shimano®/SRAM®, 4.4mm) and a smaller end (Campagnolo®, 4.0mm). Select the end that corresponds to your brand of shifter and remove the end termination you will not be using.
- Remove old cables and housing; note cable routing and location of ferrules. Using old housing pieces as a pattern, cut new housing lengths to match. Using wire cutters and awl make sure housing ends are free of burrs and wide open. Install new housing into place on bike.
- Turn barrel adjusters fully clockwise.
- Carefully feed new cable through new housing and cable housing stops, adding ferrules as needed – nosed ferrules are to be used at cable stops, the non-nosed ferrules should be used at the shifter and derailleur.
- With cable held taught, secure it in pinch bolt, tightening to derailleur manufacturer’s torque requirements. Trim off excess cable and crimp a cap on cable end. Slide red crimp cap cover over crimp cap.
- Adjust shifting as usual.
NOTE: Do not use grease, oil, or any other lubricant with the GORE™ RideOn® Cable Systems. Some wear of the coating around the bottom bracket is normal.
WARNING: Do not alter or remove any of the original derailleur components as this could result in a system failure.
